“Be wild, be free, you and me.”
“When Stevie Jay approached me about working on this shoot, I was excited about her style of photography. The candid shots and little secret moments she captures between bride and grooms is enchanting. We wanted the shoot to be cool, edgy but still full of romance and elegance.
The concept and colour palette behind the shoot was taken from a cactus dessert and the tones within succulents. It was a perfect combination of purple and green tones, an almost transition from Pantone’s Greenery colour trend and into the new Pantone Ultra Violet.
Succulent plant – a symbol of timeless love.
I wanted a venue that would appeal to the alternative yet romantic bride and a year round venue too. Canal Mills in Leeds was a great find and with the graffiti and bare brick walls as a base, I knew we could do something that bit special with the lighting. It’s a large, warehouse venue and something you’d expect from trendy East London.
My gold ceremony backdrop was used to frame the couple and capture the electric between a real couple. Georgia and Nathan were very sweet, their love was captured by Stevie throughout the shoot, something that can’t always be recreated sometimes with models.
Typical Type supplied the filament lamps to my gold ceremony frame to create that magical romantic glow within the warehouse space. A round chandelier cluster was positioned above the reclaimed table from All Things Borrowed, a beautiful statement table and eclectic chairs to soften the venue’s space.
The hair and make up by Bow and Blush was elegant and classic with a floral headpiece teamed beautifully with a geometric tiara from On Foundations. A great combination to add that modern bridal twist.
The dress from The White Yard was pretty and detailed. The long lace sleeves are unique.
The suit from Tweed and Groom with a Liberty print tie added that little pretty detail and softened the grooms look.
The stationery from Gray Starling reflected the hues in the inspiration and concrete touches with modern fonts appealing to the modern bride. The scroll table plan hung effortlessly within the venue and a key statement bit of stationery.
To be frank, we wanted to display a cake that wasn’t sat on a table! We made a tipi structure and swing for the elegant cake from White Rose Cake Design to sit on, making it a show stopper display and illuminated from below to accentuate it’s beauty.
Jewellery from Stella and Dot was an understated touch with a modern boho feel complimenting the long lace sleeves.
The flowers by Alison from Flowers from the Garden were outright incredible. The combination of succulents, foliage and handmade concrete pots from Alison’s talented Daughter were perfect for the table runner to sit under the filament lighting from Typical Type. The runner and silks from Bertie and Fred were teamed perfectly with the flowers and added that extra flowing detail to the bouquet. Alison from Flowers from the Garden specialises in home grown and locally sourced flowers, herbs and foliage. It’s this concept that makes Alison’s flowers so unique and a work of art.
Throughout the shoot I wanted the energy to be relaxed, fun and most of all, real. The combination of industrial warehouse coolness without overshadowing the love on a wedding day. Call us soft or a hopeless romantic but that’s what a wedding is about and that’s what we want to portray within this shoot.”
